Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Off'ce at Southport, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, April 18,1945 Among The Greatest The whole world knows by this time that President Roosevelt is dead and [ fha wwiH nlsn knows that with his going one of the greatest leaders of all time has passed away. Certainly never before has there been a President whose administration has covered a period of such world-wide importance. There have been great men in other days, but in their days the world was a small place. At no time in the history of the world has any world leader been called upon to make such far-reaching decisions as President Roosevelt had to make. This nation and the world are at this crucial hour thus deprived of the leadership of a man in whom peoples of all the world who love freedom exercised an inspiring faith. He not only dreamed a better world, but he had the faith, the vision and the energy to bring that visionary world down into the realm where men live and move. lie is now gone, but not until his house was well in order for whatever the immediate future may bring. As Governor Dewey said in his tribute to the departed Commander-in-Chief: "The country can and should be solidly united with President Truman". Only future historians with the full nersriective of history within their range will be able to arrive at a true estimate of his impact upon the world, but from the present vantage ground and under the emotional spell of his passing, he looms as among the greatest of all times, I - it Farm Fish Ponds. The farm fish pond idea is spreading rapidly throughout the United States and North Carolina is not an exception. We recently heard of one North Carolina county wherein approximately 50 farm fish ponds have been constructed during the past two years and more are in the making. Owing to the comparatively level terrain, there seems to be the idea that farm fish ponds are not feasible in this county. To many this idea appears to be wrong. Even on the large watersheds that lie on most of our streams the flow of water in times of excessive rainfall is very slow. The building of dams that will not burst and lose the fish during very rainy periods should not constitute a problem. A good spillway with the dam having sufficent clearance above the normal water level should take care of all (r Nations, and the construction of the dam or spillway should not constitute a problem in most cases. It is true that during very dry periods the soils in this county absorb water rapidly. This fact must be given consideration in selecting a site for a fish pond. A stream that is known to /I***? im nAtvinlafolir oi f A l + c* rl OQA_ Uij iq; vuiupictci^j c?tn i*v/ ivo uwp est hole may not serve the needs. On the other hand, if the dams are so constructed as to create a great reserve of water to take care of the dry periods such streams may still be entirely practical. The ideal variety of fish for the coastal and semi-coastal areas is the large mouth bass. They love and thrive in the still or slow moving waters. No Longer Hears It It is evident that Spain no longer hears it's master's voice. The flamboyant dictation that once came out of Germany appears to be lastingly stilled. Last week Spain protested angrily to Japan, even going so far as to threaten war against the Japanese. Once so servile to Hitler that even the thought of anything not pleasing to t him would cause them to tremble with fear, the Spanish are now bowing to the fact that their former master's voice now carries no weight. Recognizing the ultimate defeat of Hitler and his Nazism, as well as the I " I '' t in-- ini'--i rr-4 fT**2 fact that the iapaftese ate also dest ined to fall, i^pain is how attemptinf to get on the band wagon by turning hostile to Hitler's outspoken ally. Sev eral years ago Spain was all but read; to join up with Germany and Japai * against the United States and othe: allied nations. It is said that time changes al things. It has certainly brought som< changes in the attitude of Spain, Argen tina and some other little countrie that formerly jjot some satisfactioi from being allowed to kiss the boot of Hitler. True Appreciation A marine who has recently return ed from action in the Pacific told u that there is just not enough love ii this world. He went on to say that i people would adopt the habit of tel ling others when they appreciate thing that ai-e done for them, our worl< would be a very different place. Trm J appreciation, not empty flattery, cai help a great deal. We thought of this when we rea< a letter from James Lambros this week "Jimmy", as he is known to his friends was born in Europe and has recent ly had to receive treatment at our hos pital, the Dosher Memorial. He is prom -Jf i-/lAnnfrv nnH it touche: I Ol Ills ttUUpiCU VUM??V*tT v?..? ? his heart that he is given such wonder ful care here when so many of hi countrymen are suffering in the 01< j World. In order that we might help Jim [ my with the expression of his appreci I ation for the hospital we are so for tunate to have, we give you his letter "I have been sick since last July I lost my store and everything I hai in it. I forgot about myself or m; health so I started another place. It i finished and we have moved in so wish to thank my friends and kin< neighbors for helping me and my wif fix the place. I really appreciate thei help and kindness. "I also wish to say this about ou hospital at Southport. I was there fo three weeks one time, and the seconi time one week. I have been in man; in mv lifo Vint tViia hnenifn uuopilulo 111 111 j niv, vui/ w?'u i.vuj/iwm is the best one I ever saw. The nurse are wonderfully good and the Dr. L C. Fergus is one of the best doctors ever saw. My advice to everybody tha gets sick and has to go to a hospita is please go to Southport. We shouh donate lots of money that we spem for other things to this hospital s when we get sick we would have ; nice place. "Mr. Joe Loughlin, the manage of the hospital, is a wonderful man the head nurse is fine. By the help o the Lord, if nothing happens to me hope to be able to help this hospita to grow and be one of the finest i the South. I wish to thank Mrs. Fre Smith for being so good and kind t me . Well, Jimmy Lambros, we thin' you've already done something for you hospital by writing such an earnes and appreciative letter. They Held Fast "Hold that formation!" shoutc the officer. And hold they did through six bomb-packed hours, those thousam American and British captives of th Germans. Their guards had run awa when the American planes attackei the freight cars in which the soldier had been held without food for 3i hours. But Allied officers quickly gav the order to bare their backs to th sun, and bend over to form the letter P 0 W as a signal to the fliers. Man; a man must have been desperatel; tempted to break and run, as the P-47' dived and strafed. But all afternooi they held through blazing sun an< blasting guns, until sure their signa had been recognized. Such an example of sheer courage and individual consideration for th* welfare of the whole should prove ai inspiration on the home front in thi days ahead after victory in Europe When temptation comes to relax thi war effort or quit an essential jol while fighting continues in the Pacific it would be well to remember and hee< the admonition, "Hold that formation!'
